Constitution Party on Education

Support non-traditional charters, Christian schools & more

We affirm the free market principles which drive improvement of education through non-traditional options such as internet-based schools, charter schools, Christian and private schools, as well as home schooling options.

WE CALL FOR THE ELIMINATION
OF THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION: There is no Constitutional provision that empowers the federal government to provide for and regulate the education of our children. All current federal legislation related to education should be repealed.

Education cannot be separated from religious faith

All teaching is related to basic assumptions about God and man. Education as a whole, therefore, cannot be separated from religious faith. The law of our Creator assigns the authority and responsibility of educating children to their parents.
Education should be free from all federal government subsidies, including vouchers, tax incentives, and loans, except with respect to veterans.
